Texas Tornadoes Come on FAST!

June 11, 2009

Last night seemed like any other normal quiet evening. Well, up until the tornado sirens started going off throughout the city! Below is a simple little video I threw together illustrating the speed with which Tornadoes pop up in Texas. Luckily, in Frisco we have an early warning system to notify people when a serious [...]

The Sun Sets on Chicago O’Hare Airport

June 10, 2009

While traveling to Chicago a while back I was in the airport with a buddy when he spotted the evening sun absolutely reflecting off the downtown skyscrapers. I barely had time to grab the camera and get a couple of shots before it went away. It was a very fleeting, yet powerfully captivating image. You [...]

“Condition 1″ Antarctic Weather

June 9, 2009

It’s getting kind of hot here in Texas. Like it’s nearly 100 degrees already. So even though we’re used to the heat, we’ll all be whining about how hot is is really soon. And really, that’s fair. I mean people do occasionally die from heat exhaustion. Then again, if you compare Texas heat to Antartic [...]

Thumbnail image for More Photos of the San Francisco Bay Bridge

When I was in San Francisco for WordCamp this weekend Dave Curley and I went across the street from our hotel and snapped a few photos of the Bay Bridge. Thought I’d share a couple new ones to go along with the ones I posted previously. I hope you enjoy! This first image was taken [...]

What $20,000 in Cash Looks Like

June 2, 2009

There is actually no reason whatsoever for this completely random post. Except that I thought I’d point out what a very small stack $20,000 worth of $100 bills looks like. Seems like it should be a lot bigger stack, doesn’t it?

iPhone Get’s Punk’d at the Cell Phone Reunion

June 2, 2009

Yeah, I got an iPhone a while back. Then I got one for my wife, talked my brother into getting one for himself and his wife, and have basically continued to propegate the spread of this piece of technology. And you know what? iPhone is getting a little too cocky! Luckily, the boys over at [...]
